Holy Grail, Monty! : The Holy Hand GrenadeThis was for the Monty Python Holy Grail swap. There were so many funny moments in this film that it was hard to decide what to carve. I loved all the characters and had a few others in mind but i decided to go a little simpler this time. I always thought the idea of a hand grenade that was blessed to be hilarious. I used a brown ink to do all the outlines and lettering then i filled in the grenade with a medium brown marker and a grey marker for the metal. I used a darker brown pencil for the shading and a red pencil for the crystal. I used a marble card stock for the background because i thought it was kind of older looking and invoked that regal type feeling to it. I was pleased with how the lettering turned out.
